Can I Repair My Own Automatic Wrist Watch? Crystal Repair - Seiko 7S26-04B0

Описание: Replacing the crystal on a wristwatch is a meticulous process that restores both function and aesthetics to your timepiece. The crystal, often made of sapphire, mineral glass, or acrylic, protects the watch's dial and hands from dust, moisture, and damage. Over time, crystals can become scratched or shattered, necessitating replacement.

To begin, you'll need to carefully remove the old crystal. This involves disassembling the watch case, which may require specialized tools to avoid damaging the watch. Once the case is open, the damaged crystal is typically pried off using a case knife or similar instrument. The watch's gasket, which ensures water resistance, should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.

Next, the new crystal, selected to match the original specifications, is fitted into place. The watchmaker ensures a precise fit, often using adhesives or pressure to secure it. After replacing the crystal, the watch is reassembled and tested for accuracy and water resistance.

It's crucial to have this replacement done by a professional watchmaker to ensure that the watch retains its integrity and functionality. Proper crystal replacement not only restores the watch's appearance but also extends its lifespan, maintaining its value and reliability. So... I decide to do it myself.
